History and operations

The company was founded in 2011 in a garage, with a small initial selection of Autoglym, Chemical Guys and Dodo Juice products. Since then it has grown to have a warehouse that uses an automated stock control and order system, which allows it to maintain accurate stock levels and pick, pack and dispatch orders faster. The site offers free shipping on orders over £50 and publishes guides and articles on detailing techniques on its blog.
